The preferred version that carries out an invention
Describe the present invention in detail referring now to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
Will import wherein matrix as the proton dissociative group that uses among the present invention, fullerene molecule will not be had particular restriction, as long as they are spherical bunch shape molecules.Yet, be selected from C 14, C 60(referring to Fig. 2 A), C 70(referring to Fig. 2 B), C 76, C 78, C 80, C 82Or C 84Fullerene molecule itself or two or more mixture of these fullerene molecules normally preferred.
These fullerene molecules are open (Kroto, H.W. in the mass spectrum of bunch bundle of carbon laser cutting in 1985; Heath J.R.; O ' brien, S.C.; Curl, R.F.; Smalley, R.E.Nature1985.318,162).In fact the preparation method established after 5 years.That is,, find preparation method, and from that time, fullerene has caused extensive attention as the semi-conducting material of carbon containing by the arc discharge method of carbon electrode 1990.
The inventor has carried out a lot of researchs to the electronic conductivity of fullerene molecule derivative, and find, the fullerene poly hydroxide that obtains by the composition carbon atom that oh group is imported fullerene shows high electronic conductivity at large-temperature range very, comprise ambient temperature range, promptly at least 160 ℃--40 ℃ temperature range comprises the solidifying point and the boiling point of water.Find that in addition when the hydrogen sulfate ester group was imported the composition carbon atom substituted hydroxy group of fullerene, its proton conduction body became outstanding.
More specifically, as shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, fullerene poly hydroxide is the generic term by fullerene and the compound that additional plural oh group constitutes on it, and so-called richness is reined in alcohol (fullerenol).Certainly, the number of oh group or its arrangement can change with a lot of double recipe formulas in the molecular structure.Richness is reined in the synthetic example of alcohol and was delivered (Chiang, L.Y. in 1992 for the first time by Chiang etc.; Swirczewski, J.W.; Hsu, C.S.; Chowdhury, S.K.; Cameron, S.; Creegan, K., J.Chem.Soc., Chem.Commu.1992,1791).From that time, have and rein in alcohol with the richness that imports oh group wherein than the more quantity of preset value wherein and caused extensive attention, especially for its water-soluble; And mainly obtain research in biological association area.
As schematically showing among Fig. 4 A, the inventor has made richness rein in alcohol and has formed polymer, and interaction will produce between contiguous richness is reined in the oh group of pure molecule like this, represent with zero in the drawings; And find that for the first time, this polymer shows high electronic conductivity, in other words, H +The phenolic hydroxyl group group of reining in pure molecule from richness with the visible amount of macroscopic view dissociates.
Purpose of the present invention except richness is reined in alcohol, also can be used to have plural number-OSO 3The fullerene polymer of H group is made the proton conduction body and is realized.Fullerene poly hydroxide, as shown in Fig. 4 B, wherein-OSO 3The H group has replaced the OH group, and promptly sulfuric acid hydrogen ester type richness is reined in alcohol, also by Chiang etc. at 1994 report (Chiang, L.Y.; Wang, L.Y., Swirczewski, J.W.; Soled, S.; Cameron, S., J.Org.Chem.1994,59,3960).Should be noted that to have only-OSO 3This group of H group or plural number and the centre of oh group each, also can be included in sulfuric acid hydrogen ester type richness and rein among the molecule of alcohol.
As for the proton conduction body, on the basis that a large amount of said derivatives is gathered into massive material, prove, proton from great amount of hydroxy group group intrinsic in the fullerene molecule or-OSO 3The H group is participated in directly mobilely, makes and needn't for example catch from the hydrogen or the proton of water vapour molecule from atmosphere, needn't absorb water particularly, to used atmospheric gas without limits from extraneous supplementing water.On the other hand, form the fullerene performance electrophilic characteristic on the basis of these derivative moleculars, this point be considered to highly acidic-OSO 3The improvement of the hydrionic ionization in H group and the oh group is extremely important.This is the reason of the outstanding electronic conductivity of proton conduction body of the present invention.
And, since the great amount of hydroxy group group and-OSO 3The H group can import a fullerene molecule, and the proton density that participates in the conduction of per unit volume conductor so will increase to some extent.This is the conductive reason of the existing effect of proton conduction body surface of the present invention.
The major part of proton conduction body of the present invention is made of the carbon atom of fullerene, makes that it is in light weight, not perishable and does not contain polluter.The manufacturing cost of Fullerece also reduces greatly.Therefore, consider the energy, environment and economic worth, fullerene is considered to than other similar material more near the carbonaceous material of ideal material.
Our research discloses, will proton dissociative group be limited in aforementioned oh group or-OSO 3The H group.
Therefore, if with-XH represents this group that dissociates, and X is atom or the atomic group with two valence links, and Here it is so fully.Equally, if with-OH or-YOH represents this group, and Y is atom or the atomic group that has two valence links arbitrarily, this also is sufficient.
Particularly, except-OH ,-OSO 3H, proton dissociative group also can be-COOH ,-SO 3H or-PO (OH) 2In any one.
For synthesizing according to the fullerene derivate that uses in the proton-conductive electrode of the present invention, so long as pass through with the known process technology, for example acid treatment or hydrolysis, be applied to the fullerene molecule powder, any suitable proton dissociative group is imported the composition carbon atom of fullerene molecule, is exactly sufficient.

And, mixture preferably with form of single sheet at the gas permeability collector body, for example form on the carbon paper.Mixture can be used as individual layer or exists with sandwich construction.
As shown in Fig. 5 and 6, as mentioned above, to form by the gas permeability collector body according to proton-conductive electrode of the present invention, the mixture of being made up of fullerene derivate and electronic conductivity catalyst on it forms the single or multiple lift structure.
In the proton-conductive electrode shown in Fig. 5, comprise richness and rein in the porous mixture of pure molecule 2 as fullerene derivate and electronic conductivity catalyst 3, disperse to be coated on the surface of proton conduction body 1, the surface of porous mixture covers with gas permeability collector body 5 then.
On the other hand, the proton-conductive electrode shown in Fig. 6 obtains by the porous mixture of reining in pure molecule 2 and electronic conductivity catalyst 3 with multi-layer coated richness.
The proton-conductive electrode of the present invention that constitutes as shown in Fig. 5 and 6 uses and comprises the porous mixture that richness is reined in pure molecule 2 and electronic conductivity catalyst 3, makes that gas can be penetrating in entire electrode.And, since reining in pure molecule 2, richness has the proton dissociation ability as fullerene derivate, and electronic conductivity catalyst 3 forms in entire electrode, three phase boundary 7 not only forms near the contact point between proton conduction body 1 and the catalyst 3 so, and forms near the contact point between catalyst 3 and the Fu Le alcohol molecule 2.These three phase boundaries 7 are electronics (e -) 4, proton (H +) 8 and the site all compiled simultaneously of gas 6 (for example hydrogen or oxygen).
Because proton-conductive electrode of the present invention can not only be near the contact point between proton conduction body 1 and the catalyst 3 and can form three phase boundary 7 near the contact point between catalyst 3 and the Fu Le alcohol molecule 2, so electrode can be improved in the function that produces and transmit aspect the proton.In addition, because proton-conductive electrode contains the fullerene derivate with proton dissociation ability, so electrode can use in dry air continuously.
The catalyst of the formation porous mixture that uses in the proton-conductive electrode of the present invention is preferably formed by the porous mass that carries the electronic conductivity atom.In this case, the amount of the entrained electronic conductivity atom of porous mass 1-50wt% preferably.
The atom (catalytic metal) of performance electronic conductivity can be platinum, ruthenium, vanadium, tungsten or its mixture, and porous mass can be carbon dust, porous Ni-Cr agglomerated material, Al 2O 3Agglomerated material or porous Li-Cr alloy sheets.In these materials, the combination of platinum and carbon dust is preferential.
Preferably, electronic conductivity is with 0.1-10mg/cm 2Amount be present between proton conduction body 1 and the gas permeability collector body 5.
Can be used for various electrochemical devices and have its advantage according to proton-conductive electrode of the present invention.Promptly comprising first and second electrodes and be clipped in the basic structure of the proton conduction body between these electrodes, at least the first electrode in first and second electrodes can be to adopt proton-conductive electrode of the present invention.
